Chapter 57: The Opening Of The Jade Pool

“It’s stabilized.”

Jiang Lan nodded.

Initially, Jiang Lan thought that he would receive a gift from his master after his advancement.

After all, when he built his foundation, his master had given him a vegetative egg.

However, because of the vegetative egg, his master no longer gave him any more gifts.

His master had thought that it was a spirit pet initially, but who knew that it would end up as a potted plant instead?

Jiang Lan didn’t expect this either.

He had already thought of letting his spirit pet watch his door.

If its spiritual wisdom was sufficient, it could help him clean up the hall and clear the grass by the roadside.

However, one’s plans could not keep up with changes.

“You’ve been on the mountain for decades, but you’ve never been down, have you?” Mo Zhengdong asked softly.

As soon as he asked, Jiang Lan immediately said,

“Master, I don’t want to go down the mountain for now.”

Mo Zhengdong remained silent.

“You have formed your Golden Core, it’s time to go train in the outside world.”

“Master, I will go out and train when I become an immortal in the future.”

“…”

Mo Zhengdong looked at Jiang Lan and didn’t know what to say.

“But without actual combat, your future path will be dangerous. It will also be a form of resistance, preventing you from becoming an immortal,” Mo Zhengdong said.

Jiang Lan lowered his head in silence.

“There are many spirit herbs in the Witchcloud Mountain Range. The demonic beasts there aren’t too strong. Do you want to give it a try? The party leader is a Human Immortal. ”

“Too far.”

Jiang Lan had naturally heard of the Witchcloud Mountain Range. It was said that many disciples would head there to train.

However, it was located in the desolate north.

The distance from Kunlun to the mountain range was not something that could be reached by flying.

Jiang Lan naturally wouldn’t go so far away.

It was too dangerous.

“What about the Qilin Mountain Range? It’s not too far. It’s about a ten days journey from here. With someone leading the team, the trip would take at most five days. The fortuitous opportunities in the Qilin Mountain Range are immeasurable. Also, it’s very easy to find a spirit beast that can be a spirit pet.” Mo Zhengdong asked again.

Jiang Lan thought for a moment and said.

“Master, is there somewhere where I can go and come back within two hours?”

Mo Zhengdong remained silent.

Was this disciple of his intending on going down the mountain to help clear the roadblocks?

Jiang Lan lowered his head in silence.

He did not reject such training. After all, he really lacked actual combat experience.

Some things required practical experience.

However, it was too dangerous for him to leave the Ninth Summit.

Before becoming an immortal, he did not want to go out.

That was unless it was a necessity. However, up till now, there had not been such a case.

“Then let’s talk about other things first. The Jade Pool is opening soon. At that time, some immortals would try to enter the Jade Pool. As a personal disciple, you have to attend the ceremony,” said Mo Zhengdong.

“Are we going to the Jade Pool to observe the ceremony?” Jiang Lan asked.

There was another place above that of the Kunlun Nine Summits, the Jade Pool Sacred Ground.

It was said that only women could enter and cultivate there.

However, almost no one could enter it.

Of course, Jiang Lan didn’t care about such a thing. What he cared about was that he could enter the Jade Pool to sign in.

The Jade Pool definitely had a path of Great Dao.

If he were to sign in at the Jade Pool, he would be able to obtain heaven-defying items that were on the same level as the Daoist Scripture and the Creation Pill.

Mo Zhengdong nodded. All personal disciples who did not have anything important on hand had to attend the event.

In the past, there were no representatives from the Ninth Summit. However, this time round, there was finally one.

Then, he thought for a moment and said,

“There’s a place suitable for you to train at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain. With your speed, you can reach the destination in around two hours. At that place, there is an Ice Cicada Forest. Go help me catch two ice cicadas. Four hours to and fro isn’t too far, right?” Mo Zhengdong asked.

Jiang Lan didn’t refuse this time.

His master had changed training outside into catching ice cicadas.

It was more or less an experience.

And it was very close.

It was not much further than the inn where he bought wine for his master.

It was not easy to catch an ice cicada in the Golden Core stage, but it was not dangerous either.

However, to a mid-stage Essence Soul cultivator like Jiang Lan, it didn’t seem to be much of a hassle.

He would take it as a trip to sign in.

Fortunately, it was close enough.

Soon, Jiang Lan left the Ninth Summit.

After learning the location of the Ice Cicada Forest, he planned to make a fast trip.

He still had not signed in today.

He didn’t want to waste any time.

Mo Zhengdong watched helplessly as Jiang Lan left.

“It looks like when the time comes for choosing elite disciples for the Witchcloud Gathering, he won’t go either. Is this what happens when one’s temperament is too good?”

Apart from the necessary cultivation, there was basically nothing else his disciple wanted.

Mo Zhengdong smiled bitterly, but he did not blame him at all.

He did not dislike the feeling of being distressed for his disciple.

Instead, he was very proud of this disciple of his.

Jiang Lan’s speed was very fast. On the surface, he was at the Golden Core Realm. Thus, the speed at which he rode on his flying sword was also at the Golden Core Realm.

He did not fly too high and fast. Doing so was too high-profile and would easily provoke some seniors who were also traveling.

Some people just didn’t like people flying over their heads.

Therefore, Jiang Lan avoided all these carefully.

Soon, he arrived at the Ice Cicada Forest.

It wasn’t far from Mount Kunlun. Or rather, it could be said that this place could barely be considered within Kunlun.

It was just that Kunlun had never cared about this place.

Although Ice Cicadas were not ordinary, they were not a rare species.

It was not very useful for cultivation.

There was no need to care too much about them.

Jiang Lan stood in midair. In front of him were some trees stained with frost.

It was the same everywhere he looked.

This was the Ice Cicada Forest.

Jiang Lan landed in the forest and began to search for the ice cicadas.

As he walked deeper into the forest, the sounds of the forest gradually subsided.

It didn’t take long for Jiang Lan to feel that the forest had become unusually quiet. The Ice Cicada Forest wasn’t supposed to be like this.

He had checked the information regarding this place.

“Something is wrong here.”

With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan decided to withdraw.

However, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.

The person was not far behind him.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Lan looked behind him.

However, there was no one behind except for a few trees.

Jiang Lan frowned, but there was no danger for now.

“I shall sign in here first.”
